Upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

Post by apiening »

Since Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was just released and Zimbra 8.8.15 GA can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04, I wonder if I should upgrade my Ubuntu 18.04 based installation to Ubuntu 20.04.

I only found a guide to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 in the Wiki: https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Upgrades

Is there any upgrade guide available for Ubuntu 20.04?

But this guide doesn't even mention the upgrade process from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04.
In oder to guard against misunderstandings: I'm already on Ubuntu 18.04 and I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04.
Or is this not recommended or even supported, yet?

This thread covers upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, right?
What I want instead is to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04.

I have the same problem.

After upgrading Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 Zimbra is still running fine with the old 18.04 Packages, but after downloading the latest zcs-8.8.15.tar from zimbra.com and running "./install.sh -s --skip-activation-check" Zimbra is not starting anymore.
The reason seems to be that Zimbra Mailboxmanager is not running.

I've tried this to fix this problem, but it doesn't work:
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-so ... -starting/

Also /opt/zimbra/log/zmmailboxd.out is full of java errors.

I'm updating on Ubuntu 20.04 from
Release 8.8.15.GA.3869.UBUNTU18.64 UBUNTU18_64 FOSS edition, Patch 8.8.15_P36.
to
Release 8.8.15_GA_4179.UBUNTU20_64

Has anybody successfully upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04?

After some trial and error our Zimbra Server is now running except zmconfigd.

The errors in /opt/zimbra/log/zmmailboxd.out gone away after "apt install zimbra-ldap-patch", but than i have errors in /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log like this:

990 FATAL [main] [] system - Unable to initialize servlet ExtensionDispatcherServlet; halting
javax.servlet.ServletException: Invalid port number "%%zimbraMailPort%%" in allowed.ports parameter
at com.zimbra.cs.servlet.ZimbraServlet.init(ZimbraServlet.java:144) ~[zimbrastore.jar:8.8.15_GA_4508]

I fixed this problem after removing /opt/zimbra/jetty_base folder and using a copy of the jetty_base folder from the Ubuntu 18.04 install.
Like described here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=66243&p=290660

Everything seems to work fine except zmconfigd that is not starting and i have no log updates in /var/log/zimbra.log since the upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Finally everything works now! 8-)

First i had to reinstall zimbra-patch and zimbra-ldap-patch packages and after that zmconfigd works fine, but stats dont start anymore.
I removed zimbra-logger and installed the package again from the Zimbra 8.8.15 Ubuntu 20.04 install tar archiv.

It looks like there are some conflicts between the packages from the Install archive and the versions from the Zimbra package repositories.
Maybe some packages must be installed before other versions or some package dependencies are wrong / missing.

Instead of removing /opt/zimbra/jetty_base and using a backup, the better solution is to apt remove zimbra-store package and reinstall it from the downloaded zcs-8.8.15_GA_4179.UBUNTU20_64.20211118033954.tgz!


So the complete procedure should be this:

1. On Ubuntu 18.04
- wget https://files.zimbra.com/downloads/8.8. ... 033954.tgz
- tar xvf zcs-8.8.15_GA_4179.UBUNTU20_64.20211118033954.tgz

2. sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/allow-thirdparty.cfg

[Sources]
AllowThirdParty=yes


3. sudo do-release-upgrade

4. On Ubuntu 20.04
- cd zcs-8.8.15_GA_4179.UBUNTU20_64.20211118033954
- sudo ./install.sh -s --skip-activation-check

5. sudo apt update && apt dist-upgrade

6. sudo apt --fix-broken install

7. sudo apt install zimbra-ldap-patch

8. sudo apt remove zimbra-store

9. cd packages/

10. sudo dpkg -i zimbra-store_8.8.15.GA.4179.UBUNTU20.64_amd64.deb

11. sudo apt install zimbra-patch (because it will be removed as zimbra-store package dependency before)

12. sudo apt install --reinstall zimbra-ldap-patch

13. sudo apt remove zimbra-logger

14. sudo dpkg -i zimbra-logger_8.8.15.GA.4179.UBUNTU20.64_amd64.deb

15. sudo service zimbra restart
